This one the most bizarre videos I've seen of Bachmann. Marcus Bachmann is obviously running the show. Shouldn't he be subject to a more thourough media vetting as well? I suspect the MSM is waiting for Soros to give the green light.

I don't like that. The implication that the president, if it were Michele Bachmann, would put the will of her husband over the will of the American people, is very distasteful to me. Maybe he should run instead.

With respect, all of you are getting bent out of shape for nothing. Yesterday at a farewell party, a local Professor (who ironically is from my old neck of the woods) said to me tongue and cheek, "is your wife keeping you involved in politics or is it the other way around?" We both smiles. The point of the matter is that many husbands and wives discuss politics and perhaps they influence each other.

Further, the is an old Slavic saying that goes something like this 'while the man is the head of the house, the woman is the neck of the house and wherever the neck turns, the head must follow.' Thus it is ultimately a two way street. Women also influence men. It has never been a serious issue in the past that Presidents have wives. Thus, if we one day get a woman President, we should not worry per se that the Woman has a husband. I do not fear the Mr. Bachmann would run the show any more than Mrs. Romney, Mr. Palin, Mrs. Huckabee, Mrs. Obama, Mrs. Bush and so on. This is crying over spilted milk.

To be sure, sometimes a spouse does have to must power, but so far this is just silly season.

OK, I went back and watched it. While it is true that the average American couple does not operate this way, I do not necessarily see the problem. To be sure, Mr. Bachmann encouraged Mrs. Bachmann to learn tax law and then become a politican, but that does not mean he micro manages her affair. For example, my wife might say 'why don't you apply for such and such a job. That does not mean that she would tell me how to do my job should I land it. On the other hand, my wife might ask me for some money to go shopping. That does not mean that I tell her what to buy. Haha, sometimes she tells me what to buy, but shhhhh, I do not listen all the time.

This video has been circulated by liberal Minnesota bloggers for years. I've never taken the time to watch it until now, but I've read about it. To get the full context, one needs to watch the video. It really makes her look like a loon.

The MSM is sitting on this, and of lot of other stuff too. If she becomes a legitimate threat to Obama, all he'll will break loose. This is the type of stuff they had hoped to find on Palin, but didnt. If Bachmann had been the national figure Palin is, you would have known about this a long time ago.

Well RW, if Mrs. Palin run, I'll still back her, but if Mrs. Bachmann keeps rising in the polls, Mrs. Palin will not enter the race. I need a back up plan and the other guy from MN, is apparently too weak and boring to do the job in the campaign. Again, Mrs. Palin is still probably considering a run and wants to run, but realistically, poll numbers are what they are.

When I saw the headline and before I watched the video clip, I thought it was another MSM gotcha question like the one they gave to Mike Huckabee in the FoxNews debate.

But clearly Bachmann was using this submission verse from the bible as a way to talk to the people in her audience. So she brought it up herself and added to it herself.

I thought her response was quite odd. My husband has never suggested to me that I go into a field that I had no interest in. He has talked with me about fields that I have brought up and encouraged me. But never like Bachmann described her husband doing.

Maybe O.J. needs to watch the video again. Mr. Bachmann did not just "encourage" or even "influence." Per Michele, she "had NO DESIRE" whatsoever to learn tax law, run for a political office. She went so far as to say that she "HATED" tax law. Then she says that they "prayed" about it & got the Lord's confirmation .. I mean who can compete with "the Lord" saying she should be the next Congressperson or the next President. Puleeze.

Someone should tell Ed Rollins about the 11th commandment. He spent his first two days on the job bashing someone who isn't even a candidate. That's when Palin supporters took their gloves off. Prior to that, the Bachmann bashing was limited to a small (but loud) minority on C4P.

No for the record RW, I realize that Mrs. Bachmann is not Mrs. Palin's second coice (after herself,) but really, what else is there? Mr. Romney and Mr. Perry are both for mandates, Mr. Pawlenty is too boring. Mr. Cain does not cut the mustard. I guess there is always Dr. Paul.

So you have a bigger problem with Mr. & Mrs. Bachmann than you do with Mrs. & Mr. Romney??? All I can say is: WOW.

"Most Palin supporters are willing to wait until we get a definitive answer before switching camps." That is all fine and well, but the chances of her entering the race is getting smaller. What purpose does it serve to get into a freaking pissing contest with a fellow Tea Party Conservative? To be blunt I expect this from MA Con and company.

Thank you, Right Speak, for showing this video. This site obviously has a lot of integrity for doing so, as many knee-jerk conservatives would probably be outraged that anyone would dare to do anything which might denigrate their newfound champion. After reading about how Bachmann has signed that idiotic pledge and after seeing this video, there is no way this woman will ever get my vote.

Well RW, if Mrs. Palin run, I'll still back her, but if Mrs. Bachmann keeps rising in the polls, Mrs. Palin will not enter the race. I need a back up plan and the other guy from MN, is apparently too weak and boring to do the job in the campaign. Again, Mrs. Palin is still probably considering a run and wants to run, but realistically, poll numbers are what they are.

Well OJ,

If we listened to the pollsters at this time in 2007, we'd either have a President Clinton, or a President Giuliani.

Bachmann is the latest "flavor of the month." Believe me when I tell you that she's in for a very rough ride. All of her skeletons are finally being bared to the nation. We can argue whether it's fair, or not fair, but she HAS NOT been vetted by the MSM yet. A new article came out on Politico about an expose that ABC news covered regarding Marcus Bachmann's gay cure. Just last winter, Marcus called gays "barbarians" in a radio interview. Since, Michele submits to Marcus, this stuff is all fair game in an election, and it will only escalate in the weeks and months to come.

Polling Palin doesn't mean jack squat until she's an announced candidate. Furthermore, Bachmann's support is a mile wide and an inch thick. I believe her numbers would crater with an announcement from Palin.

THAT is amazing!! I don't doubt that religious people do go through experiences like that, but.......seriously, do you think Romney would even have a chance had he said the same exact words??

Those are not the kind of experiences you go around sharing with lots of people. Yeah.....that, unfortunately, would NOT go well in a general election. "Hello" Repubs!!! While voting in the primaries.........you better be thinking of the Gen. Election and NOT be a purist!

I would also like to thank rightspeak.net for the integrity shown in posting this video.

I am a Conservative Christian, and I was excited about Michelle Bachmann as a Presidential candidate because I thought because She was an accomplished professional who is also a Congresswoman, she would be a wonderful role model for Conservative Christian girls, to show them that they also can have a strong voice, and can be accomplished.

When I was growing up I saw a Mom who had no voice, no respect, and I went to Church to hear messages of submission, and not the way Mike Huckabee interprets it, so I thought Michelle Bachmann was a breath of fresh air, although I did wonder how a Conservative Christian Woman who has a narrow interpretation of certain biblical passages could be President of the United States.

Well this video shows me that a Woman who thinks the way she does, would not be someone who I can vote for. This video is definitely creepy.
